From the Inside Flap:

rincipal rings the bell at theatrical producer Thomas Butler's London mansion, a young maid opens the door. And suddenly, Laura is plunged into a mystery whose depths she fears to plumb.

The maid asks Laura to help her find some missing money, but overnight she disappears. Neighbors say she was abducted; the Butlers insist no such person ever existed. But beneath the vicious underpinnings of affluence--in clubs, country houses, and charming mews--Laura uncovers the unbelievable truth. Proving it, though, could be fatal.
